help me replace the IAT sensor

My CEL has been on for a while and when I took it to Autozone they said that the problem is my IAT sensor, so being the daring person that I am, I ordered one (11.99+tax). Now, knowing only how to change the oil and spark plugs, put gas in, and start the car, I have a problem. I have absolutely zero idea where the IAT sensor is, how to remove it, or how to put this new one in. Heck, I don't even know what the thing looks like. Any help I could get from a "Sentra professional" would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, it is a 2001 SE, which might be helpful info.

Please be kind, I am a message board virgin.

Maybe you could also tell me what it does...

Never mind, I found it. Little bastard was hiding pretty well though.

Where was it i'am aslo looking for the IAT

in my 2001, in was the front right, right atthe start of the air intake tube. i think it will depend on what year your car is, but it should be very close to where your car takes in air.

it is connected to a wire, it is hard to see.

i just kind of started pulling on things i didn't think i could break and one of them turned out to be correct.

good luck hunting.
